Dear Majordomo Users,

running Majordomo 1.94.4 on a RedHat 5.1 Linux.

When I create a digest for a mailing list, I get an error message 
when there is no one subscribed in the digest mailing list. It works 
fine when there are people subscribed to that list. The error message 
looks like this:

To:      owner-testlist@fbzslinux.tu-graz.ac.at
Subject: Returned mail: testlist-digest-out... aliasing/forwarding loop broken

The original message was received at Tue, 14 Sep 1999 09:49:06 +0200 (MET DST)
from majordom@localhost

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
testlist-digest-out

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 testlist-digest-out... aliasing/forwarding loop broken
Message delivered to mailing list owner-testlist@fbzslinux.tu-graz.ac.at


The alias entry for the mailing list using sendmail looks like this one:

owner-testlist:         seitz
owner-testlist-digest:  owner-testlist
testlist-owner:         owner-testlist
testlist-digest-owner:  owner-testlist

testlist-approval:          owner-testlist
testlist-digest-approval:   testlist-approval

testlist-request:           "|/serv/majordomo/run/wrapper request-answer testlist"
testlist-digest-request:    "|/serv/majordomo/run/wrapper request-answer testlist-digest"

testlist:               "|/serv/majordomo/run/wrapper resend -l testlist -h fbzslinux.tu-graz.ac.at testlist-list"
testlist-list:          :include:/serv/majordomo/lists/testlist, testlist-archive, testlist-digest
testlist-archive:       "|/serv/majordomo/run/wrapper archive2.pl -a -m -f /serv/majordomo/archives/testlist/tl"
testlist-digest:        "|/serv/majordomo/run/wrapper digest -r -C  -l testlist testlist-digest-out"
testlist-digest-out:    :include:/serv/majordomo/lists/testlist-digest



I guess it is more a sendmail problem, but what can I do to prevent 
this from happening? Is the only solution to subscribe a dummy user? 
I hope not.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

With best compliments
